## Resource

Juneteenth isn’t just a holiday—it’s a market shutdown too. The NYSE and Nasdaq close for trading on June 19th, honoring the day in 1865 when enslaved people in Texas finally learned they were free. Since becoming a federal holiday in 2021, Wall Street has consistently paused for Juneteenth, alongside other major holidays like Independence Day and Thanksgiving. If you’re planning trades, remember: markets rest on June 19th—so take a moment to reflect on history while your portfolio takes a break.
